Portrait specialist based in Nowy Targ. I create natural, carefully composed portraits in studio, outdoors or at home — with a relaxed, empathetic approach.
I’m Michał (Drako) — a portrait photographer and the creator of Portretownia in Nowy Targ. My photographic focus is simple: to reveal the individuality and beauty of each person. I favour naturalness and simplicity, composing each portrait to reflect the subject’s character and emotions rather than staged poses. This philosophy results in timeless portraits that endure. I work from a professional studio in Nowy Targ, and I also offer sessions outdoors or in your home — the location depends on the mood and story you want to convey. In the studio I control light and atmosphere for clean, striking portraits; outdoors I look for natural backdrops and soft light; at home I capture intimate, personal moments that reflect everyday authenticity. I use modern equipment and experience to ensure consistent, high-quality results. My process is built around comfort and trust. You don’t need to be a professional model to have great portraits — I guide the session with calm direction and clear posing suggestions so you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. We discuss expectations and style before the shoot, ensuring the final images match your vision. At Portretownia I combine technical skill with empathy: careful composition, lighting knowledge and people skills come together to create authentic portraits. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who treats each image as a story about a person, I’d be glad to work with you in Nowy Targ. Together we’ll create portraits that preserve emotion and character for years to come.
